Halo ActionClix is all done.
Ouch – WizKids, the company behind Halo ActionClix (among other products, but that’s the Halo-related one), is closing its doors; its parent company, Topps, has decided to move away, somewhat, from gaming – though they plan to support some HeroClix events already scheduled. Read Kotaku’s story for more details. Thanks, Ross Mills.(Louis Wu 18:50:29 UTC)

On this quieter-than-usual Veterans Day, we’d like to offer you another chapter in the ongoing Solo Legendary All Skulls On walkthrough from Daniel ‘Tyrant’ Morris – this one is huge. It covers the level ‘The Covenant‘, and the nearly 20 videos add up to almost 400 mb worth of visual aid. (Once again, these are split between two pages.) Go read… and go watch!(Louis Wu 16:02:27 UTC)

Guilt O’ Lantern Contest: Results
The voting for our Guilt O’ Lantern contest wrapped up last night – and the winners are now visible. Congratulations to the winners… and thanks to all the voters! First and second place were solidly taken – but third-place was an EXTREMELY close-fought battle, with the lead changing hands a dozen times in the past few days. The final tally had Jericho’s pumpkin taking the slot by just 7 votes. (Interestingly enough, the winning design was popular enough to take second place in last year’s competition – different carving, but same base image.) Prizes will go out pretty soon!(Louis Wu 15:37:55 UTC)
